The fashion designer, 26, openly smooched her law student boyfriend, 32, over lunch at Nick's Coffee Shop in L.A. June 24. "She was relieved when news that they're dating came out," a source recently told Us Weekly of Conrad, who met Tell during a double-date on Valentine's Day. "They don't have to hide."

The rarely photographed pair -- who both hail from Orange County, California -- are even planning a trip together, according to a pal. "Lauren is incredibly happy. I think they'll eventually get married!"

Here's to hoping. Earlier this year, Bachelor runner-up Sadie Murray, who dated Tell from 2009 to 2010, told Us the former Something Corporate musician is perfect for Conrad. "He doesn't date just to date," Murray explained of her ex. "He's either deeply in love or he's on to the next thing. . . He's the kind of guy you marry."
